After the 14th round of Serie A, the focus of Italian football immediately shifted to next week's Italian derby between Juventus and Inter Milan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Needless to say, in Italian football, the most attractive matches besides the Milan derby are the Italian derby between Juventus and Inter Milan.
To be named a national derby shows the magnitude of the influence of Juventus and Inter Milan.
Before the phone gate in 06, Juventus dominated Serie A, AC Milan dominated the Champions League, they were known as the Holy League of Italian football, Inter Milan did not win a league title in 17 years, although there are reasons of luck and will, and it is more important to be suppressed by the Holy League.
After the phone gate in 06, Juventus was relegated to the second division, AC Milan was deducted points, the Holy League ceased to exist, and Inter Milan began to dominate Serie A, and now it has won four consecutive titles.
After Juventus returned to Serie A, it did not directly challenge the hegemony of Inter Milan, and tried its courage for two seasons, and last season Juventus's financial income surpassed Inter Milan and ranked first in Serie A, which also gave the old woman finally the capital to challenge Inter Milan.
In the summer transfer, Juventus recruited Brazilian midfielders Melo and Diego, and the call to win the championship has surpassed that of AC Milan and is second only to Inter Milan.
Judging from the past 14 games, Juventus' run-in has not been good enough, the results do not meet the expectations of the outside world, and have not created enough pressure on Inter Milan at the top of the table.
However, regardless of Juventus and AC Milan's record, Inter Milan regard them as their most vicious enemies, and if they have the chance, they must be knocked to the ground and stepped on 10,000 feet again.
Inter Milan won consecutive games in the league, but there were many problems off the field, the last game against Fiorentina, there was a conflict between Mourinho and the team doctor Conby, the reason was that when Quaresma was replaced, the team doctor Conby told Mourinho that Quaresma had cramps, but told reporters that Quaresma had a muscle strain, which made Mourinho very annoyed and directly bombarded Conby to reporters.
Combi and Blanca are Moratti's henchmen, Combi and Moratti still have some kinship, Mourinho's bombardment of Conby will obviously cause Conby's dissatisfaction, and it is difficult to say whether he will blow the "pillow wind" in Moratti.
Mourinho not only had a stiff relationship with Conby, but also criticized Balotelli for being late for training and fined him 10,000 euros.
However, the next day's training, Balotelli was late again.
Annoyed Mourinho was so annoyed that he had announced to reporters that Balotelli had been excluded from the national derby squad.
Before the tournament, Inter Milan had a series of internal conflicts, which made the media very worried about Inter's performance in the national derby, but Mourinho and Inter Milan's players did not care, believing that Juventus are not capable of beating Inter Milan now.
Mourinho said: "Inter Milan don't have any problems now, we are strong, no one is not playing does not affect our victory, Juventus used to be very strong, now their most realistic goal is to get a Champions League place." ”
Inter Milan's vice-Materazzi did not take Juventus seriously, "In my eyes, Juventus is no different from Livorno, they are in the same level, and we are the champions, we will beat them in Turin and make them completely give up the title coveting." ”
Gao Xiaodong, the core of Inter Milan's midfield, is participating in the Italian national derby for the first time, but Gao Xiaodong is not afraid, "Juventus is a great team, it is not easy to beat them away, but I believe that the final victory will be ours." ”
Inter Milan want to win, Juventus want to win even more, now they are 10 points behind Inter Milan, if this national derby loses again, then less than halfway through, Juventus will lose hope of competing for the title, which is unacceptable to Juventus, who have invested a lot in summer transfers.
Before the game, Juventus' players expressed their confidence in beating Inter Milan at home.
Coach Ferrara believes Inter Milan are stronger, but playing at home will give Juventus a better performance, which will more than offset the difference in quality between the two sides.
Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon sees the match as the final and believes that Juventus will have more fighting spirit than Inter Milan, and that courage, fighting spirit and confidence will allow them to win the final victory.
Pierrot believes that the two teams are evenly matched, and that the outcome of the game depends on the performance of the players on the field, and that Juventus falling behind in points will make the players work harder, which he believes could be the key to Juventus' victory.
In Italian football, the game between Juventus and Inter Milan is never a simple game, before the game, the Italian media and football celebrities hope that Juventus will win, in their opinion, only Inter Milan loses to save Serie A, and Inter Milan will only make Serie A lose its suspense and attractiveness.
Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho is very unhappy with this, and he believes that this atmosphere is likely to affect the mentality and tendencies of the referees, which is very bad for Inter Milan.
Juventus coach Ferrara, on the other hand, thinks Mourinho is thinking too much, because Cassani, the referee who will officiate this game, is a lucky star for Inter Milan, and Inter Milan has not lost so far in the game he has officiated.
Since before the game, the president of the Italian Football Association, Abate, asked the players to play civilly and not add fuel to the fire, except for Materazzi, the players on both sides spoke more rationally before the game and did not start a war of words, but the fans on both sides were not so rational.
As early as a week ago, extreme Juventus fans had publicly stated that they would "treat" every black player at Inter Milan, from Balotelli to Samuel Eto'o and Muntari, including the yellow-skinned monkey Gao Xiaodong.
And the Turin media is also ridiculing Inter and singing the praises of this blatant racism. Even after the last game of Juventus' black player Sissoko was booed, Torino Sport newspaper still had the same attitude: "Sissoko is booed? He's not a delicate Inter......"
The Inter players were annoyed by the threat to Juventus fans, with Zanetti saying they would withdraw from the match as long as they were subjected to racial discrimination.
Balotelli said: "Whoever dares to learn from him an orangutan and throw a banana will kill him." ”
Both Samuel Eto'o and Muntari want the Italian Football Federation and Juventus FC to stop the Juventus fans, otherwise they will not rule out withdrawing from the match in protest.
As a yellow person, Gao Xiaodong was also discriminated against in Europe, but the degree of discrimination was not as severe as that of blacks, and this was the first time that he was openly discriminated against by his opponents. In this regard, Gao Xiaodong said very seriously: "I heard that the racial discrimination at the Turin Olympic Stadium is very serious, I hope this kind of thing is best not to happen, because it will only make our fighting spirit stronger, and maybe we will avenge the 1:9 revenge of the year when the time comes." ”
Last season, Juventus fans chanted "black Italians should not exist" during Juventus' home match against Inter Milan, and the disciplinary committee finally punished Juve for a "closed-door" match, and the home fans were not allowed to enter the stadium.
This time, the Italian Records Committee said that if there is racial discrimination again in Juventus' home stadium, what awaits them will not be a "ban" punishment, but will be more severe.
